Platform specific or independent models?https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/296620/804709/#msg_804709
If they are Platform Specific, is it because the UML metamodel used by UML 2 tools is EMF's implementation of OMG's UML specification? ]]>Yasser Khan2012-02-22T22:55:40-00:00Re: Platform specific or independent models?https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/296620/804898/#msg_804898
UML not to UML itself. Clearly Eclipse's UML2 implementation is based
on Java, which is a platform, and it's specific to that. But the models
you describe are serialized as standard conforming XMI and are
exchangeable across platforms. I'm not there are UML2 implementations
on other platforms to consume them though. Also, I don't think the
graphical models themselves are based on any kind of standard, only the
underlying UML2 semantic models.

They're models. They're whatever you want them to be. Normally they're
portable, but you could have stereotypes that impose very processor or
middleware-specific usage.
